I can't say I like Apple, but damn the whole patent thing sucks!

Well, Apple stole a patent after they were presented with it when they lied about wanting to do a "collaboration ". Then literally GUTTED their engineering team with crazy sign on bonuses while using what they saw from that meeting and bypass their "collaboration".

I agree that patents suck IF there was no end date. But I'm totally ok with Apple getting in trouble for blatantly doing something like this.

Fuck Apple. They deserve this and more for being fucking too big to get in trouble.

Also let us not forget that Apple sued other phone manufacturers for having rectangular phones. You reap what you sow.

Also they tried to trademark the word "App" Store saying that "App Store" meant "Apple" Store.

Fuck Apple.

Yup. They care about money and monopoly as it also means more money.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All companies do. Any company that says they want a free market is lying or speaking from a place of disadvantage - they all would want a monopoly even more, preferably one where people are mandated by the government to buy their product. Or even better, if the government is the customer. $$$$$

Most tech companies on the stock market.

Plenty of mom and pop shops and 1 man websites that everyone should support.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, of course, good distinction. I had stock market companies in mind.

I go out of my way to support the small websites. If there is an app I want to download, I check out their site first to see if I can buy from there so they can save on the crazy fees google charges
